The short version

Kept by Clip'd

This video demos Jack Dorsey’s new app Buzz and shows how to run it self-hosted, add AI agents as full team members, swap their model harnesses, and share local compute so community members can run agents on your hardware. The creator walks through installing the native app, provisioning a VPS with Claude Code, creating agents (including a chief-of-staff agent that delegates tasks), switching models between Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and local models, and enabling Buzz Shared Compute with Gemma 4.

What it teaches

Treat orchestration and compute as separate layers. Orchestration (Buzz rooms, agent identities, threads) coordinates work while harnesses supply model compute. Apply this when you want to swap models or run workflows without reconfiguring the whole system. Don't use this model if you need ultra-low latency or single-v
Use cryptographic identities for agents, not API tokens. Assign each agent a key pair so it carries identity, permissions, and a verifiable audit trail across environments. Use this when privacy, accountability, or portability matter. Avoid this only if you cannot manage key security for devices. Common mistake: assumi
Share local compute as a community resource to reduce cloud costs and enable larger models. Enable peer-to-peer compute when you can trust contributors and when intermittent availability is acceptable. Do not rely on it if you need guaranteed uptime or strict isolation per user. The usual error is underestimating coord

Key moments

0:14Why this moment matters: The creator confirms he got Buzz running when most people could not, and emphasizes he is hosting it on his own server, establishing the self-hosting theme.
1:13Why this moment matters: The app runs natively and asks you to create an identity key, introducing the decentralised identity model that Buzz uses.
4:06Why this moment matters: Buzz generates a key pair for each agent, not an API token, which changes how identity, permissions, and audit trails work for AI teammates.
5:26Why this moment matters: A live demo where an agent (Fizz) builds and hosts a Hello World page and tears it down, proving agents can execute real tasks and produce accessible outputs.
8:19Why this moment matters: The creator changes an agent's harness from Claude Code to OpenAI Codex with a single click and restarts it, showing model-agnostic agent orchestration in practice.
12:49Why this moment matters: Creating a 'chief' agent that delegates to researchers, creates a channel, and organizes a team demonstrates hands-off orchestration: one instruction triggers multi-agent workflows.
